2016 Chemical Data Reporting: What You Need to Know

The Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 (15 U.S.C. §2601 et seq.) authorizes the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to promulgate and enforce rules on chemical substances in commerce. Section 8 (a) of the law requires the EPA to collect basic exposure-related information on the types, quantities and uses of chemical substances produced domestically and imported into the United States.Called the Chemical Data Reporting Rule (CDR) [40 CFR Part 711], this information is collected every four years from manufacturers producing or importing more than 25,000 pounds of chemicals; however, a small number of chemicals subject to certain TSCA actions will have a reporting threshold of 2,500 pounds.

National Geographic Brings Samburu Warrior to California Elementary School to Talk Wildlife Conservation in Africa

Jeneria and Yesalai, two warriors from Kenya's Samburu tribe, visited more than 800 students at Alta Vista Elementary School in Redondo Beach, California, on May 19 as part of the National Geographic Big Cats Initiative Sister School Program (BCISSP).
